"and so he said to her: “How long will you be inebriated? You should take only a little wine, but instead you are drenched.” "
— 1 Samuel 1:14, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.”
“And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee. ”
“Eli said to her, "How long will you be drunken? Put away your wine from you."”
“Then he said to her,“How much longer do you intend to get drunk? Put away your wine!””
“And said to her: How long wilt thou be drunk? digest a little the wine, of which thou hast taken too much.”
“And Eli said to her, How long are you going to be the worse for drink? Put away the effects of your wine from you.”
“And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.”
And she made a vow, saying, “O Lord of hosts, if, in looking with favor, you will see the affliction of your servant and will remember me, and will not forget your handmaid, and if you will give to your servant a male child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor shall pass over his head.”
Then it happened that, while she multiplied prayers before the Lord, Eli observed her mouth.
For Hannah was speaking in her heart, and only her lips moved, and her voice was barely heard. Therefore, Eli considered her to be drunk,
and so he said to her: “How long will you be inebriated? You should take only a little wine, but instead you are drenched.”
Responding, Hannah said: “By no means, my lord. For I am an exceedingly unhappy woman, and I drank neither wine, nor anything that can inebriate. Instead, I have poured out my soul in the sight of the Lord.
You should not repute your handmaid as one of the daughters of Belial. For I have been speaking from the abundance of my sorrow and grief, even until now.”
Then Eli said to her: “Go in peace. And may the God of Israel grant to you your petition, which you have begged of him.”
